LA Lakers Hire Mike D'Antoni

Mike Brown was fired after the team started 1-4 this season

The new Lakers coach famously wants his players to shoot in seven seconds or less. I'm not going to require that long to list the reasons that hiring Mike D'Antoni was yet another Buss blunder.

He's never taken a team to an NBA Finals. He has a losing record in the playoffs. He doesn't coach defense. His sprinting offense will be tested on a team led by aging guys who no longer sprint.
